== व्युत्पत्तिः ॥ Etymology ==

<blockquote>शीर्यते तद् शरीरम् | {{Citation needed}}</blockquote>The root Samskrit word from which the the term 'Sharira' has been derived, indicates the process of degeneration. Therefore, the word 'Sharira' in Samskrit means, 'the one that is in the process of continuous degeneration'. It denotes the natural tendency of physical body to degenerate or to undergo wear and tear (if not intervened with use of food or medicines). This indicates the mortal nature of human body. However, in the womb before birth, in the childhood and even in the young age the body grows & develops more than undergoing degeneration. This tendency of the body is explained by other synonymously used terms like ‘Deha’ (देहः।), ‘Kaya’ (काया।), ‘Vapu’ (वपुः।) which suggest growing nature of physical body (with the help of food and other nourishing factors).
